No, not really a huge deal, but it shows an obvious lack of development. The left button is easy enough to trigger by letting go with your left hand, but the right hand is another matter. All they'd have to do is stick both buttons on the left side and place them in reach of a thumb without letting go of the bars. In this day and age, that's not too much to ask. No other bike we've tested has such an odd e-windshield trigger.

One Italian Union was on strike on the UP day and the other was on strike on the DOWN day and that's what you get.

Guzzis have long been referred to as transversely mounted, as they defy convention. Similarly to the expression RPMs. There is no such thing as RPMs. Technically, it's "RsPM". Conventionally, it's "RPMs".

Let's see his technical butt go into a Friday night showdown sputtering about his longitudinally mounted engine that hits high RsPM and see what happens.
